kuychi Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) Thank you guys! And yes I feel most welcomed here Omg trichoshaman you hiked the Inca trail! How i dream of that! I ve heard it is not for the faint hearted though, hehehe i was born in south America and i got to chew a lot of coca leaves XD I look foward to speaking to you Indiandreaming about dreams (all night long if you wish) Amazonian I have seen your work with jade before its quite amaizing Thanks again guys you have made me feel very happy and welcome I'll be posting some of my work very soon Edited January 7, 2013 by kuychi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I ve heard it is not for the faint hearted though, hehehe i was born in south America and i got to chew a lot of coca leaves XD si yo viajar suda america dos times yea the second day on the inca trail has a high pass. It can be tough. But I am sure with your latin coca filled blood you will do fine ! those mountains and ruins are truly beautiful. Mucho gusto kuychi. dónde eres ? I am guessing with the fact you use to chew coca you must be from an andean country...peru ? bolivia? Edited January 7, 2013 by trichoshaman 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
inti Posted January 8, 2013 Speaking of coca chewing. I snapped this pic of a poster I saw when I was in Bolivia. Luv my coca leaf. Its worth the long flight across the pacific just to chill in mountains and chew leaves all day. I wish I could grow here in my garden in sydney Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kuychi Posted January 8, 2013 mucho gusto trichoshaman. I was actually born in Chile and I moved here five years ago, but coke and coca leaves are quite abundant in the whole of southamerica in chile they are not legal like they are in Bolivia or Peru but we still get them as with everything else hehe even here un w.a i got my hands on some coca leave tea such i bought at happy hebs shop tried chewing them, but sadly they must be more processed because the bitter taste was there but not the effects. Yeah ut is such an innocent little plant... But i am most certain it would be very illegal to bring even seeds over, or even have it in your garden, it is like that even in most south American countries. oh well only remedy is to get there i guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
inti Posted January 8, 2013 Ah Chile...yes nice place. Plan to get there myself one day. The south and Patagonia looks amazing. yes in La Paz you can buy small plastic bags full of fresh leaves on the street for next to nothing. Works well to with abit of bicarb soda when chewing. great when trekking or climbing in high altitude. Its a shame they are illegal in Oz. Its such a sacred medicinal plant. Well I wont say anything more than that on the forum...... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Getafix Posted January 8, 2013 thank you jwerta, fluss and mr b.caapi you guys are making me feel very welcome already i have only two of those beautiful spiky things, one is a trichocereus bridgesii and the other one is a little trichosereus Peruvianas, planning to expand my very little collection very soon though... Welcome kuychi. I have some pyscho0 x pach or pach x pyscho0 seedling (can't remember which cross right now), you can have to get your cacti garden going if you want them. They are quite established 10cm plus tall and spikey! PM me if you are interested and i will get something in the post for you in the next couple of weeks. Cheers Getafix 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IndianDreaming Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) It is a shame they're unavailable - quite pretty plants too. Hey kuychi - are there any particular plants you'd like to grow? I can send you some silene capensis seed if you like, and some cactus seeds to get you going. There's some great threads on here about the takeaway tek for growing cacti - pretty easy, bung some sand in a container, bit of water, nuke it, cool it, plant ur seeds and wait! Theres some real joy to be had when you see that first blob of green! If theres any other plants you really like just say the word and I'm sure a fellow SAB'er would he happy to point you in the right direction. Or jump on the SAB webstore and have a browse. I just finished a book called advanced lucid dreaming with suppliments - pretty interesting read, I've tried a few and the results were really wild. I want to find Yohimbine - apparently thats a handy one in the lucid dreamers toolkit when used in minute doses. Any more than that and it acts as a stimulant in many ways.

I want to find Yohimbine - apparently thats a handy one in the lucid dreamers toolkit when used in minute doses. Any more than that and it acts as a stimulant in many ways. Omg I love lucid dreaming, I have tried different techniques, you know counting fingers, asking myself repeatedly during the day weather I’m dreaming or not, trying to change colours, meditation etc, etc. When I practice I succeed I have had many lucid dreams but they are not very long, to me it always seem like my mind doesn’t want me to lucid dream, every time I realize I’m dreaming magically something appears ( once a pile of stars ) that is so incredible I become distracted and forget I’m dreaming. However I have never tried “supplements”, wild results huh? Post post! We want to know, btw is there a dream thread? Would be cool to start one if the isn’t one already In terms of plants I have an interest in cacti of course but I like fruit trees a lot and bonsais too, I planted an avocado tree which is now like 60 cm tall, but the heat here in Perth has not been very good for my little ones. My partner and I planted lost of cacti seeds some time ago, he taught me how to do it, they are doing good, and they would be doing better if he watered them every now and then he he. YES! I would love some seeds of anything you’d like to send me thanks! Especially silene capensis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bert&Ernie Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) Lol they don't need to be watered that often as they have all the water they need in there takeaway containers Also I think there is a dreaming thread....
